In this study, several novel peptidomimetics were designed and synthesized as potential anti-inflammatory agents. Their anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated using a xylene-induced ear edema model assay. Some of the compounds demonstrated inhibitory activity against xylene-induced inflammation similar to the positive control, aspirin.
